Telekom Malaysia demos 100Mbps fibre-optic service

Telekom Malaysia™ has previewed a fibre-optic-based super fast internet access service which offers download speeds of up to 100Mbps. ‘We are heading for the digital home era where IPTV, VoIP and home surveillance (via the internet) are necessities,’ said TM Malaysia Business CEO Zamzamzairani Mohd Isa. The telco plans to start the first phase rollout of the service in the third quarter of next year. Initially the connection speed will be 10Mbps, but this will increase as the rollout continues.
